Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I know it is a good idea for duplicate pages, blog tags, etc. but I remember somewhere that you can help the overall link juice of a website by adding no index no follow or no index follow low quality content pages of your website. Is it still a good idea to do this or was it never a good idea to begin with? Michael

I'm trying to find out how a keyword phrase ranked over time. I remember how to do it on the old Moz platform, but do not see it in the new platform. I've checked the help files and forums and the information seems outdated because it mentions to click on a link that is not there. Michael

Hello All, I have a WordPress site that Moz says has duplicate content. http://deltaforcepi.com/latest-news/page/3
http://deltaforcepi.com/category/latest-news/page/3 So I set up an addition to the .htaccess file . . . redirect code to move from one folder to another RewriteRule ^category/latest-news/(.*)$ /latest-news/$1 [R=301,NC,L] What did I do wrong? I am not proficient in .htaccess files.

I just found out that getlisted.org is gone and they want to charge $49/listing. I want to find out if moz local is part of the moz pro account and if I don't have to pay the extra $49/listing.

How can I export SEOmoz website rankings to Google Spreadsheet? I have applied other SEOmoz API's and Google Spreadsheet combos effectively but cannot find anything online for this. I would like to display current ranking and ranking history for specific keywords in Google Spreadsheet and have them update automatically using the SEOmoz API.

Hello, I have a client that has a blog with a domain of www.domain-a.com and a website www.domain-b.com. I told him that instead of trying to promote and rank with two different sites for the same thing that he should have his blog on www.domain-b.com so that any links, notices, visits, social mentions, etc. all point to one domain name and he was in agreement. But he uses a CMS (content management system) for his website and his hosting/design companey said it would be easier to set up his blog as a sub-domain of his site. www.blog.domain-b.com. My question is will the blog on a sub domain (www.blog.domain-b.com) help out link juice, ranking, etc. for the domain name www.domain-b.com just as must as a blog at www.domain-b.com/blog would help out the domain name www.domain-b.com? I know that Google used to treat links form sub domains as external but recently changed the treatment of these links to internal. P.S. The current blog at www.domain-a.com holds very little value currently.

It appears that the site www.wilsonevergreens.com has all of the strengths in place but cannot get past the 'plateau' for ranking for 'christmas wreaths. I knew that Google put a strong emphasis on have the keyword in the TLD and this is where Wilson Evergreens is lacking so I considered a microsite to rank for the keyword phrase that will point to Wilson Evergreen's site. Examining the option of TLDs and using them show that pretty much the same sites show up in the results whether you use 'christmas wreaths' or 'wreaths for christmas'. According to Google AdWords External Keyword Tool both terms are searched for about equally. I did a search for purchasing the domain www.wreathsforchristmas.com and it was taken but the .net version was available. The site www.wreathsforchristmas.com does not even show up in the SERPs for 'wreaths for christmas'. However it is a poorly constructed site with almost no marketing so I can understand why. Quote from Rand Fishkin, "If you have an exact match domain name for a particular keyword you're targeting, microsites can be powerful. Google's preference for and ranking boost given to exact-match domains is a very powerful tool to use for SEO. " (from http://www.seomoz.org/blog/understanding-root-domains-subdomains-vs-subfolders-microsites) My question is do you think it is worth purchasing www.wreathsforchristmas.net to boost sales for www.wilsonevergreens.com?

I have a client who is using a SEO company (Hubshout, delete name if necessary) to boost traffic to their website. They are doing this by publishing articles and submitting them to article directories, then they use their own sites/blogs (which are valueless, PR and MozRank of zero) to point to these articles and they say that this helps boost there rankings. How? They are not linking to the clients websites, creating artificial links from their own websites to article directories instead of the clients website. Are they trying to boost the value of the article or trying to boost their own websites? How does this help out the client? It is similar to three way linking but is not.
